Check the laws idiot. Caffeine, and sugar are legal, as is ETOH, in the appropriate levels. :D

Maybe you Socialists want to make caffeine and sugar illegal too.

All recipients of federal assistance should be required to appear at Congressional hearings and testify under oath that they are not now, nor have ever been, a Socialist, never palled around with terrorists..oh, and yes, that the US is a Christian nation.

No, no, no. A person cannot end up labeled disabled without extensive testing and two or three doctor's evaluations. Its really not that simple. Now a person may get labeled schizophrenic and ultimately go off his meds. This is almost always a tragedy as the person often becomes completely non functional - sleeps in the park, gets his money stolen, etc. Some schizophrenics do self medicate with illegal drugs, but illicit drug use is not their primary diagnosis. The plight of many schizophrenics is indeed tragic. I can see that you have a heart as big as an olive pit. :mad:

Looks like you and i didn't communicate.

In SoCal, I've met many self medicating mentally ill who have gone through being hospitalized and are legally disabled, on disability and they DO still use drugs.

It sounded to me like Colorado would refuse to consider their mental illness when looking at them due to the drug use.

?????

If a person is a known drug user, his chance of getting approved in the first place is slim. If he develops a problem after being diagnosed, he can be sent to rehab in an effort to help him with his secondary and after the fact diagnoses.

Sorry, sometimes I have mild brain blips. I didn't understand what you were asking. My understanding is that Colorado wil look at the big picture as long as your addiction occurred after you became disabled. They will treat people for dual diagnosis.
